As police were about to leave the scene, the bakery received a call from Sorella’s Pizza at 420 Mount Morris Road.

Bakery employees told police that the owner of Sorella’s called to alert them three men were at his restaurant acting nervous and she saw a yellow sweatshirt in the backseat of their vehicle.

Trooper Daniel Barnhart said he left the bakery and proceeded to Sorella’s where he encountered three men outside, including Johnson and Paugh. Barnhart said he asked Johnson if they had driven there and he pointed out a tan 2004 Chevy Cavalier as his. Barnhart looked in the window and saw a yellow sweatshirt and a gray sweatshirt on the backseat.

Barnhart said he told Johnson he was investigating a robbery where one of the actors wore a yellow sweatshirt and requested permission to look at the one in his car. According to the complaint, Johnson gave permission to look at the sweatshirt but said he did not want Barnhart to search his car. Barnhart said he noticed a West Virginia University logo on the shirt when Johnson retrieved it from the car. This was consistent with the surveillance footage provided by the bakery.

Barnhart then noticed several hypodermic needles on the seat where the sweatshirt was located. He told Johnson he would be applying for a search warrant and the car would be towed to the state police barracks in Waynesburg.

According to Barnhart, Johnson said he did not want the car towed and gave verbal and written permission for a search. Barnhart said he found a large kitchen knife under the front passenger seat that matched the description of the one used in the robbery at the bakery.

Johnson allegedly told Barnhart that the yellow sweatshirt belonged to Paugh. and a black knit cap was found inside of its hood.

The two men were taken into custody, transported to the state police barracksand interv ewed.

Police said Paugh told them he took Johnson and Lipscomb to the old bank parking lot in Mt. Morris. Paugh said he believed they were going to scam an old lady out of money and they told him they would be back in 15 to 20 minutes. According to Paugh, when they got out of his car, Johnson was wearing the yellow sweatshirt and Lipscomb was wearing the gray one.
